Lyrics
- I am glad I got you on the telephone
Because my folks are at the movies
And I’m all alone
Jump into a taxicab, Darling don’t delay
I must have a playmate right away, Say
Refrain
You must come over
I’m waiting here for you
You must come over
There’s lots that we can do
Oh, you should never miss a chance like this
For if you’re clever you can steal a hug and kiss
I fixed the doorbell so we won’t be disturbed
I’d like to know what more a girl could do
So if you want to be in clover
Then you really must come over
I’m here waiting for you
- It was very wise of you to pick me out
For I’ve a brand of entertainment
You’ll be wild about
I’ll jump in a taxicab, why should I delay
You will have a playmate right away, Say
